3 medium Granny Smith apples

2 tablespoons butter

Cooking spray
Place the apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket leaving space between each slice. (be careful not to overcrowd and cook in batches if necessary).
Air fry for 5 minutes. Then flip them over and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes until they are golden brown and fork tender.
Serve warm, either on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream or they make a great topping for yogurt or oatmeal too.

Notes

Use a different apple. For tart flavor like granny smith, use McIntosh Cortland. For sweeter flavors, use Honeycrisp or Gala
Substitute with coconut oil for a different flavor.
Swap the white sugar for brown sugar instead.
Add other spices. A pinch of nutmeg, cloves, allspice, or even a dash of cardamom are all delicious.
Leave the peel on the apples for more texture or peel them if you prefer.
